LT. Curtwright swung his Golden Dragon Advanced Fighter Craft around and hovered in place waiting for the rebel operated Golden Dragon to come into firing range.
A source of recent UFO myths, the Golden Dragon was the most advanced fighter in the early 20th century. Capable of hovering, high g spins. It was the first fighter actually capable of combat in outer space but it became slow in that environment. And it was vulnerable to other nations radar but it high speed capability (1 million miles an hour)
more than made up for its lack of radar invisibility.
The design was so expensive that only two could be built before the civil war had begun.
They were going to be used to crush the rebels but instead one had been stolen. The one, which it was now his mission to destroy. And the only to destroy a Golden Dragon was with another Golden Dragon.
They had dog fighted all over the world violating the airspace of various nations. At one point, he had almost crashed into a passenger jet inside Russian Forces while looking for the enemy. Fortunately he was able to avoid collision by pulling out but the enemy Golden Dragon had turn the table and was now hunting for him.

LT. Curtis the top fighter jock in all of Whittier had the disgusting prolife pig in his sights.
Damn it, in a split second he lost target aquisition.
Where the hell did that other fighter go.

Curtwright had lost the other fighter and prepared to take position.
Steady steady, his long military career teaching him patience in the art of target aquisition. Steady, any minute now. Any minute....NOW.
He pressed the button on the flight stick. A brilliant and powerful laser beam blasted out from the nose of the Golden Dragon at the other craft.
Shit shit shit. The beam barely misses and for the first time a Temple on the ground became the victim of Golden Dragon firepower.
God only knows how many people were probably in there.
A f..ing wasted laser beam.
He'll have to report the collateral damage as soon he got back but right now he had bigger fish to fry. The rebel was now at his 3 clock and coming in fast. He spun around acquiring laser sight targeting lock and fired pressing the flight stick button but the button on the panel in front of him. The Golden Dragon released 5 Demonic Missiles at the enemy craft each cruising at super mach speeds using heat, radar, and radio seeking technology to lock on to their target.
Curtwright was spinning around and moving away for another shot and to stay out of range of return when he heard a distant thunder. He spun the craft around. The Golden Dragon having been nicknamed the Millenium Falcon after the space fighter in the Star War trioology because it was capable of the same moves.
Finally, two of the missiles had hit their target. But the enemy was still up and operational.

Two can play this game.
Curtis fired several missiles. He waited. They acquired their target and while were dodged due to high manuevers by the enemy 2 got impact slamming into the enemy golden dragon.
Knocking the enemy into a roll. But wait what is this. Impossible. But the front of the craft of the seemingly destroyed fighter came a brilliant beam of light.
The laser blasted into the rebel fighters laser firing system, the impact of the high energy with the mechanism causing a huge explosion.
Shattering the entire front end of the fighter and sending it into a tail spin.
Curtis tried to pull it out of the fall. He saw several of his missiles impact a civilian population center. One impacting a hospital, a second an elementary school and a third slamming into a crowded supermarket.
A fourth apparently a stray from the enemy fighter slammed into an apartment complex.
He gained control and forced the Golden Dragon around, its navigation system annihilated by the laser impact.

*shoots a nuke*


jk jk jk :lol:

Curtwright fired several more shots but didn't see the missiles that slammed into his fighter until it was too late.
The impact blowing the crap out of his tail section.
But he struggled to get just one more shot with his laser, and fired before turning to try to return home. Staying around just long enough to watch the impact incinerate the right wing of the Golden Dragon before him.
While he pushed the button for the emergency rear stabilization device.
With that in operation, the Golden Dragon last its speed advantage and thus all advantage it had over enemy craft. Now anyone would be able to shoot it down.

No fighter can survive this kind of damage.
Curtis radios rebel command:
Fight unsustainable.
General Killthemall: Maintain battle position until you killed the enemy.
Curtis: Unable to comply with order.
He then dropped the mike and pushed the ejection button ejecting out of the fighter over Whittier air space. For him this battle is over.

Curtwright radios command:
This Alpha Kilo.
Dragon Bear is dead.
Visitor is dropping in over.

Command: Alpha Kilo this Command message received loud and clear.
Preparing party for visitor. Out.

That was code for the enemy has been destroyed but the pilot has ejected.
Party meant they were sending military personnel to the sight to arrest the enemy pilot as soon as he hit the ground.

Curtwright used all of his strength to turn the fighter around and headed for home.
The Golden Dragon was the most powerful fighter he'd ever flown. But he was lucky to walking away from the experience still intact.
